Kagame is God sent

Click here for the source article on the African Exponent.

Shelter is a fundamental human right, or at least it should be, and a government that's serious about development will run up against a wall if it doesn't start off by ensuring all citizens are guaranteed all of their basic rights first. Only then can you speak of the beginning of the possibility of sustained, sustainable development.

The manufacturing base that African economists constantly say is indispensable to Africa's quest to hold its own in the cut-throat and competitive sphere of international trade is a pipe dream if our people are not guaranteed fundamental rights first. The productivity and creativity we need to build and maintain a strong manufacturing base is best built on a foundation of people who are well kept. What we should be chasing, above all else, is corporate well-being.

We are not going to make a bunch of shanty dwellers and semi homeless people eating poorly and drinking dirty water give us the standards that we desperately need to compete in innovation, productivity and creativity on an international level when our competitors are taking better care of their people. We simply wouldn't compete.

The saying "when the food is wrong, medication is of no use" applies to this situation. We can replace "medication" with "schooling" in the same saying and it would still apply. Education is a process that involves the use of the brains. The more healthy they are the better able the student is to learn. Even when saying "schooling is of no use" is a stretch, the basic premise still stands.

And it's that simple.

And it is a requirement that our people be their best when we are bootstrapping. Guaranteeing our citizenry the basic rights is a prerequisite for entry into the progressive country club.

There is in fact no country on earth that is progressive, has a medium to high standard of living, and is holding its own in economic encounters with other nations, that doesn't prioritize the provision of basic rights to its citizenry. Even Russia has this prioritization in order, and it is in my view the reason it could keep up with the demands of the Cold War era to emerge today still a superpower. In this regard, only African governments maintain the ridiculous and laughable situation of having the cart in front of the horse as they chase economic growth while neglecting to ensure that the basis for this, the foundation itself, has properly been laid.

I visited Russia in the late ninenties, and witnessed first hand how the government treats its people there. Contrary to western propaganda about rampant poverty rates in the country that conjures up images of homeless people everywhere you look, looking unkempt and begging, Russians are better kept than even westerners on average.

It is true that the citizens of Russia, on whom the country depends for its labor force, don't have much money in comparison to westerners, and it is glaringy obvious from just looking at the quality of their attire, but each one has a home they live in rent free, RENT FREE ... and the other basic human rights are also assured for Russians. Food, for instance, is cheap in Russia for the Russians. They can buy it cheaply and eat to their heart's content. And we are not talking the cheap glucose/carbohydrate staple that Africans get in abundance, but nutrient and mineral rich foods the likes of which Africans are starved of.

The average Russian can afford an egg and omelette for breakfast, for example, which is a luxury in Africa. Actually, bread itself is unaffordable for the majority of Africans, and of those that can afford it, many consume it dry or with cheap margerine as the basic spread.

The Russians have their act together and it is only for lack of a better idea of what living a comfortable life is that you will constantly encounter the Russian man or woman going on and on about how little they have. Judging by what they can afford to eat and where and how they live, the average Russian is better off than the average westerner, and it's only a western media propagated idea of how much better off people in the west are that is responsible for the form the complaints about life in Russia have.

I walked for days in Russia without seeing signs of human decrepitude that I had seen in western countries, not to mention Africa. The homeless problem in Russia is nothing to speak of, and where it exists it is usually fueled by drugs.

My experience of Russia, and many more observations I have made from traversing the real world, lead me to conclude that the things Kagame is doing for his country can only mean he understands the game like few African leaders do.

I am not religious and it is not in a religious sense that I say Kagame is God sent for his people. This is a manner of speaking. The man isn't just this for Rwandans, but for the entire continent of Africa and whoever else needs this model. He isn't just showing that it can be done, but how it should be done.

There is nothing happening in Rwanda right now that is happenstance or mere show. It is clear that the government of Rwanda understands that it is all necessary for proper progress to be realized, for it to be self powered and self propelled. Kagame is in effect creating a machine the rest in the developed country club, including countries that are rapidly advancing like China, have already created. This is in fact the foundation upon which their remarkably steadfast advancement is occurring.

There is a lot more that needs to be done in Rwanda to ensure the success of this venture, most of which can be gleaned from the history of such foundation laying in other parts of the world, including China. For now, however, we can be confident Kagame understands this game very well and we can also deduce from his many speeches that he will not let the IMF or World Bank derail him from the course he has set, as they usually do in the third world when leaders embark on a semblance of this quest.

The other man who was equally God sent was Magufuli but, as we know, he was assassinated by an unchangeable west hell bent on seeing Africa fail because our failure has always represented their success.

A people benefiting from your disadvantaged situation, who are set on ultimately wiping you out cannot consider giving you reparations for what they are still doing to you. Jews couldn't have asked the Germans for reparations while still in the concentration camps

Your well-being is mutually exclusive from that of your oppressor's, especially one that started out enriching themselves at your expense, on your slave labor, and eventually got addicted to that arrangement. You will not be helped by the same party out of a status they put you into. That would be like an oppressor that's become stinking rich from your exploitation, and is still benefiting off of your oppression, helping you break the chains that bind you to perpetual servitude to their western capitalist culture and its plans for you that ultimately include your genocide.

Let's look at some concrete examples of this situation.

France has the world's fourth-largest gold reserve, estimated at 2,436 tons, and valued at $111.8 b. There is not a single goldmine in France. While Mali has no gold reserves despite having 860 gold mines producing 50 tons per year.

The French military is in Mali, and it is no secret what this occupation force is there to ensure happens.

France is getting all the gold from Mali and its other colonies in Africa, on top of the money it gets due to the "Pact For the Continuation of Colonialism" it forced all its former colonies to enter into, which amounts to 500 billion per year.

France obviously has no desire for this to end and would undoubtedly have an intricate structure in place to ensure that its good fortune continues, and eliminations of Africans, as indeed the contamination of their bodies and minds to prevent them from having what it takes to change this situation, is an integral part of it.

Comparisons to this structure would be Henry Kissinger's 1974 NSSM 2000 program that was designed to ensure that natural resources kept flowing from Africa. Kissinger was all too prepared to commit genocide if only he could keep the population of the continent to levels that would not impinge on the need for America to keep the resources from Africa flowing abundantly.

We can go on to other western countries involved with different nations on the African continent and the situation will be the same, albeit with different natural resources and differently named pacts.

The west is clearly still exploiting Africa, and benefiting immensely from this arrangement. It would seem senseless with this in mind that Europe would consider reparation demands from Africans for the harm it has caused the people of this continent over the period that it has been there given it is still doing the very things that harm the Well-being of the people of this continent.

The Japanese got their reparations because it was deemed essential to 'repair' them from the short and long term effects of what had been done to them, so too did the Jews. And, as things stand today, the Jews get 3 billion in tax monies from America alone every year, and more from Germany.

We live in the era of reparations, and it isn't the dawn of the age, by far. The Japanese got their first reparation in America as far back as 1909, right when blacks were still being lynched and dispossessed by their own government under Jim crow. Of course, there was an interest in maintaining this system of things so there couldn't have been talk of reparations for blacks, which isn't very different from the situation African Americans find themselves in today.

Four decades later, the Japanese got their second reparations. The Japanese American Evacuation Claims Act of July 2, 1948, provided compensation to Japanese American citizens removed from the West Coast during World War II (WWII) for losses of real and personal property. Approximately 26,550 claims totaling $142,000 were filed. The program was administered by the Justice Department, which set a $100,000,000 limit on the total claims. Over $36,974,240 was awarded.

And if you check the record of reparations, you find that, down the line, each reparation was handed out very promptly, with little to no delay.

But talk about delayed reparations for African Americans today and millions of whites from the entire west instinctively start obfuscating. The rationales bend and twist and you will not be faulted for thinking there is a "World Illogical Argument Contest" in town. Millions of westerners will pull up the Romans, Attila the Hun, the Vikings and etc., as having invaded and enslaved them ... but they aren't asking them for reparations because they are different from blacks.

We are supposed to believe that their enslavers are still around benefiting from their crime against them, as the descendants of the victims suffer the consequences, and it's all traceable right down to the Roman or Viking bank right next door.

I actually even came across an "Irish man" who wondered why Ireland hadn't asked for reparations from England for the devastation they caused the Irish via enslavement and war, absolute disadvantaging as to rival that of African Americans, diaspora Africans such as Haiti, or continental Africans.

Of course, the racist implication is that Irish (white) ingenuity is solely responsible for the advanced state Ireland is in today, while blacks have denied themselves opportunity for equal rates of advancement because of dumbness.

And I wondered at hearing this whether the Irish would survive what Africans have been put through. My estimate is that they would go extinct with only a tiny, minute fraction of the experience.

At this rate westerners might as well pull out the Lochness monster and accuse it of having disadvantaged them ... and it's still enjoying the benefits of the oppression as it rolls and wallows gleefully In the Lochness sea, unchallenged by requests for reparations by the disadvantaged descendants of its initial victims.

Africans, wherever you are, understand this ... When your tears have become another's joy, it's time to move on ... and you will have to fight your way out.

African Americans are in need of repair, but it's not going to come from the white supremacist power structure that still finds it necessary to keep them in bondage. African Americans are going to have to generate the repair themselves, and keep in mind there will be interference to this effort. The supremacists don't want them repaired because then they know they won't remain in the sorrowful state that makes for their joy.

Just remember black Wallstreet or the Tulsa massacres, and many other outrages.

Remember also that Belfast didn't experience a massacre by the English when it advanced too quickly.

Africans on the continent, we know that there are many wealthy entities in the west that were built off the forced labor of our ancestors. Many in the west are still benefiting off of this and growing from strength to strength. Entire countries are enjoying the fruits of actions that are responsible for the state we are in today, a state that is deliberately being enforced. We are also in need of repair but should learn from our diaspora brothers and look to ourselves for this.

We should do it ourselves.

Our repair is imperative, a priority, and should be self generated. It can only be initiated with a rejection of all that is western. We should first of all ditch the languages, the religions, and the system of governance that are the key factors making us fools of the west. It's because of these relics from colonialism that we suffer from a serious and debilitating Stockholm syndrome.

And we should also watch out for interference of this process from the white supremacy power structure still enjoying the fruits of our disadvantaged positions and doing all it possibly can to maintain the status quo.

We are at war, brothers and sisters, and we need to start living like we are. Our very survival depends on this in the end.

Facebook Manipulation of the User Experience

Image showing my inbox viewed in messenger (left) and the opera browser (right). The names are blacked out to protect identities. I left "PushBlack" clear because it is a commercial publication and good to use for clarity. Notice how it is at the top of the inbox in the browser, whereas it is third in messenger. It gets worse the lower down you go. These screenshots were made in succession, within a minute of each other as can be seen from the time and other details on the phone

Are you a frequent user of the messenger app? Do you belong to multiple, busy chats, some of which you have been included into without your permission but you didn't leave? Here is something you can do to see something very strange about Facebook chats on messenger.

Open messenger. Notice the new messages in your inbox? Don't open any of them but make 3 screenshots scrolling down so that you capture as many as possible.

Now open any browser, apart from Chrome. Ensure that it is an up to date version. Go to Facebook dot com. Click on the messenger icon to view your mail.

Cross check with the screenshots you made of your messages viewed in messenger to see if they are all displayed. If you are an avid user of Facebook who belongs to multiple chats then chances are that some of the groups and friends you see in messenger will be missing in the browser.

The messages that you see in messenger but don't see in the browser are generated by an algorithm that can be read by Facebook apps. Browsers don't see those messages.

To me, these chats and profiles are spoofs or spam, similar to the disappearing "Facebook User" profile only to the extent that these are made by external scammers, while the phenomenon mentioned before appears to be an inside job. It seems especially in the case of profiles that these are attempts to conceal identities from outside queries on them. It's like the profile exists on Facebook but cannot be seen by search bots that do not have the algorithm that allows them to read them.

Here is something else that is strange about some friends' profiles on Facebook that I have found the same explanation for.

Open Facebook in a browser. Navigate to your friend list. Open them one by one and check the url each time you have one open. Alternately, search for a profile of interest and check its url.

Normal Facebook urls contain part of your username in them, and these will be the names you used for registration. But I have observed that there are profiles that consist of just numbers. They sometimes look like this:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000300330etc., etc.

And other times they look like this:

https://www.facebook.com/1000300330etc., etc.

Normal Facebook profile urls read like this:

https://www.facebook.com/FirstName.LastName

I have tried searching the names of the people who own profiles that are displayed as digits in Google or duckduckgo and found that they don't show. I think that these profiles are generated by the Facebook algorithm in the same way groups are, because groups also consist of numbers, and maybe this is why they can only be read within the Facebook environment.

If this is the case then this is special privilege, and also an inside job. I do not remember being asked to create an account that is hidden from the view of search engines.

Lemme show you one last thing that is strange about Facebook.

Open messenger and go to chats you have had with friends. Select the lengthy ones and then take chunks of them that you then read through.

Open the browser and do the same that you did in messenger with the same message. Be careful to start reading from the same point where you did previously. When you are done, if you have my luck then you may find that the browser displays more messages than messenger, and if you have a good memory then you can pinpoint the exact location where the omission(s) occur.

It is typical for messenger not to display some messages, at least in my case but I doubt that this only happens to me.

Take note that the best time to catch the omissions is a short while after the deletion has occurred. I am talking from a few days to a week. I have noticed that in messenger the messages tend to "re-emerge" after this period has elapsed.

All of this suggests that we aren't just having our data sold on the open market by Facebook, but we are also being manipulated and forced into virtual spaces with strangers who are using their own identities but would rather their Facebook accounts not be found on the internet.

Imagine the potential harm that such an arrangement can have on your life? Imagine dating someone you fall in love with for years and discovering that the relationship failed because some crucial messages didn't show on both ends, leading to the creation of the wrong impression.

Imagine a spat that escalates with disastrous consequences when a message intended to explain a previous message is omitted.

Imagine that the character whose identity is being concealed that has wormed their way into your life is a serial killer or pedofile hiding from people who can recognize them by name is being protected from exposure by Facebook.
